Important collection of correspondence regarding Hamburg performances of 1873 featuring a hand-addressed envelope from Wagner, an important series of letters concerning Richard Wagner's Hamburg concerts of January 21 and 23, 1873, primarily from Adolf Müller, also including letters from Eugen Richter, Fritz Schubert, Zacharias, and a series of original telegrams from Wagner. Wagner’s hand addressed envelope measures 6 x 4.75, and is addressed in German to Adolf Muller. Letters are all in German, and are various sizes and formats. One letter, a copy of a Wagner letter in the hand of Eugen Richter, reads, in part (translated): “In the brief amount of time which I have today, I agree to support on my part your efforts for my Bayreuth undertaking. Very likely I will be in Berlin for some time in January, and can also come to you in Hamburg at that time. I think you can already announce the concert for the middle of January. Should you find the middle of December more suitable, I could accommodate that. For the program, I would suggest a Beethoven symphony and an appropriate selection of pieces from my older operas: Tannhäuser - Lohengrin - Meistersänger, also Tristan and Isolde. Song - better not at all. - The main thing - : The purpose of the undertaking, a very abundant revenue, which alone - considering the purpose - can induce me to make the sacrifice, again and again at times to be called in as concert producer. As on the other hand, I must not hide the fact, that this winter we must definitely have successes, if my larger enterprise is to thrive, and so I thank you very much for your encouraging accommodation.” In very good overall condition. Translations of the remainder of the correspondence is available online at rrauction.com.
